For years, the streets of New York City have been his only home. Abandoned at 11 by an abusive father and haunted by the promises of a brother who never returned, he's learned how to survive in a world that has only taken from him. Stealing to eat, hiding to stay safe, and carrying scars too deep to see, he's built a life of solitude, where trust is a luxury he can't afford. But when he's caught stealing food and placed in a boys' group home, his life begins to shift in ways he never expected. For the first time, he's forced to confront his past, his pain, and the possibility of hope. In the chaos of new friendships, old wounds, and the challenge of rebuilding himself, he discovers that healing doesn't come easy-but it might just be worth fighting for.

In my opinion life should be viewed as death is. The end. Death is the beginning. A new life, a fresh new start. Its beauty is unmatched. I imagine it feels like stars bursting, a million smiles and just pure happiness." Cancer. What a pain. Valerie's crippling illness leaves her hospitalised, bored out of her mind, dreaming of how she just wants to be a normal teenager. Although her thoughts are constantly intruded by someone. The boy. She was intrigued by him, he visited everyday at the same time, 2:47pm. She wanted to know his story, why was he here? Is he visiting someone? Her curiosity overflowed her. Anyways, it didn't matter, for her illness was getting better and she could finally get back to school. Sophomore year. Gosh. She could finally be a normal teenager. Then she saw "him" in the school hallways. The boy. Although he seemed different, less warm, more cold. It was like he put up a façade and barricaded his true self. His true self being... the boy she saw in the hospital. 🥇First place in The Star Awards 🥇First place in The Ember Awards #24 in sadromance #15 in cancerpatient finished- 22/09/22
